Stunning

Few Bittern from Saltholme

That last sentence is so sad. Flowering because it wants to live 🌹

Maybe climate change will be good news for New Zealand Bittern 🥰

OMG it’s so freezing in the winterless north this morning 🙂 But good it might knock off some wasps .

Just look at those glorious feet 😍

Oh wow!

Once upon an Evening's, stalking silently through raupō reeds,managed to score these colourful skies. swearing the clouds to keeping mum, quietly worked to am advantage. Mōrena all, enjoy your best Friday's, it'll be the only one you get this week. (C) #hottriggeredkiwi

When you have spent five consecutive days in a hide RSPB Minsmere 🌍 a few years ago, through all sorts of weather, waiting for that special moment when the #Bittern comes closer to you. This was close!!, looking straight down the lens at me. This happened on day five, amazing day.
